Could you overview a letter, I have just composed, I don't want to post it on here yet pending some sort of approval i not going off on a tangent.....

 

However i dont know how to PM you, so you will have to give me some guidelines

[freakyleaky]

Click on my name and it will take you to my profile. You will see a links saying "send freakyleaky a private message". Click on that and type away!

[balloons]

Thanks Freaky

 

I am gutted for AGE. Her thread has been continous support for me and i am an avid fan. As you said, she will win in the end...

 

However, just rang court now, it is as my PM. What scares me a little is that an hour has been allocated.

[freakyleaky]

That's nothing to be scared of! It gives you more time to put across your points.

[balloons]

Just a thought

 

The letter I have composed, would it be worthwhile taking that to the court today, so that the Judge can read it prior to the case?????

[freakyleaky]

Absolutely! hand it to the court manager when you get there and ask him to pass it to the judge prior to the hearing. Mark it urgent. (apparently dg do this with all there late submissions)

[balloons]

i promise i'll stop hogging all your time soon, but i was thinking of adding that due to circumstance i felt a request I would however be grateful if you could consider a Judgment by Default against the Defendant was more appropriate, for none compliance with your original orderfor Judgement by Default was more appropriate.....what do you think

[lateralus]

[balloons]

imagine the scene, me walking up the beach with this thing moving, there was screams coming from every direction

[balloons]

If a stay is not awarded, anybody any idea what he Judge may ask, going round in circles looking through the old threads. I have my arguements for not accepting a stay, but what if the judge doesnt award the stay?? Although i am current reading through my court bundle, wondered if anyone had any ideas

[balloons]

Ir's Ok i'm done, hopefully fully prepared arguements for the stay and if he does here the case, I'm off to bed, prob to carry on reading and lookin at this thing...

[pinkduchess]

good luck for tomorrow dont stay up too late!!

[Castlebest]

Best of luck Balloons

Thanks for your support guys, had a surprisingly good nights sleep, words keep popping into my head at this moment. i.e. unfair, unlawful, not transparent, utccr's, dunlop etc. Preperation, delaying tactics. I have wrote notes down which i will take with me.

 

I will do my best, got to go and get the kids up for school, well in half an hour at least, have a coffee, get ready myself, get to court 1/2 an hour early....

 

Let's hope the judge is symphatetic, i have got Larynxitious (spelt completely wrong) my voice does however feel a little stronger today.

 

I will let you know later on......

[jowalshy]

Good luck balloons..

Thought i would update you, got to court half an hour early, solicitor approached me and told me they would be asking for a stay and that most courts were upholding their request. They asked me if i understood.

 

Went into court, Judge was very nice at the beginning, stating that although he was aware i objected to the stay and the case was heard i would loose he quoted the Berwick case and one other, stating he agreed with the case and judgement and something to do with prices not being applicable (sorry for this, my head's a little all over the place). If then i chose to go down the appeal path i would loose the protection of the small claims track and pay costs for barristers etc.

 

He then went on to ask me on what grounds did i request the hearing to which i stated i had a copy of the witness testomy, he asked me if i had previously submitted it, to which i replied no and handed a copy to him and a copy to the solicitor. i stated the human rights and timescale, to which he shot me down in flames and stated something about timescales taking as long as it takes.

 

 

The solicitor then quoted several other cases that were lost and that i had downloaded the witness testomy from the internet, to which i agreed as it was an excellent source of information to people like myself. The Judge added that the testomy was not a strong arguement and he would make judjement for a stay until the test case was resolved. My case would be referred to Cardiff as there is one Judge dealing with all cases similar to my own and if any further hearing was required it would be held in this court.

 

I felt like a naughty child, who was pushing, but hey I got a Stay, and we will just have to wait. Just a pity i didnt get to say more.

 

Hey Ho, nothing ventured nothing gained...... THIS IS ME TRYING TO BE POSITIVE.

[pinkduchess]

exactly.....nothing ventured, nothing gained....and its not over yet

 

well done on getting this far & for doing your best

[HSBCrusher]

well done balloons, you have made it thus far.

Hopefully not too long to wait until this fiasco is sorted.

 

chin up, we are with you all the way

[caro]

You can hold your head up that your went to court and made your point. At least if you ever had to go again you'd know what to expect, and that you'd be able to hold your own. You only have a stay, you haven't lost the case, and it's still in the small claims so you won't be liable for the banks costs.

 

Well done. I'd say you have plenty to be positive about and should be proud of yourself.

[balloons]

Thanks for all your support......thinking back the Judge did seem to lead me, but i am proud that i got this far, and no it didnt go my way, but hopefully when the experts get involved, the Court will have to agree and then the consumers will win......

 

Thanks Guys
